iOS by Apple and Android by Google are the two mobile platforms used by the majority of the smartphones in the world today. There is no doubt that both of them give each other tough competition and try to outstrip each other at every opportunity they get. Both of them have a very loyal customer base as well.

There is one thing though everyone has come to agreement to – Apple’s creates some really awesome apps and since most of them are exclusive to its devices, they become all the more desirable. FaceTime is one such app that has snatched a lot of customers away from Google as they have switched to the iOS platform.

But, if you do not have an iPhone or iOS, do not be disappointed. You have some really good alternatives to FaceTime for Android. Here are some of them.

Skype

When the subject of video calling is broached, Skype is the name that is bound to emerge to the surface and that too quite prominently. Skype is the name that has become synonymous to video calling and VoIP. There was a time when we would not make the voice calls; instead we would simply say ‘let’s Skype.’ The good thing is that it is not exclusive to any platform. Whether you have an Android device or iOS (even Blackberry or Windows) you can download and use this amazing app.

Viber

When Viber was first launched, you could only send text messages or make voice calls. However, it did not take long for the company to figure out that to stay on course with competitors they will need to introduce the video calling feature too – and so they did. Today, they have a large customer base and millions of video calls are being made everyday using this app.

Google Duo

Launched only a couple of months ago, Google Duo is already making lots of heads turn. After all, it is a Google product and for the first time dedicated to video calling. It is a cross platform app and thus can be used on iOS as well as Android devices. In the coming time, there is a good chance it might give tough competition to FaceTime.

You must remember the time when the smartphones were pretty new and file sharing among them was a big challenge. We would use Bluetooth but it was so slow that sharing large files was almost impossible. Also, it was not always very reliable. The connection would usually break and thus you would have to start the whole transfer process again.

This was really quite some hassle. But these things were definitely remedied when the hotspot feature was introduced in the smartphones. This is when it became possible to share the files between two or more phones within the close range at a high speed. This was made possible by the incredible file sharing apps like SHAREit, Xender, Zapya, and more.

When we think about file transfer across devices, these are the three names that cross our minds first. So, why not have a quick comparison of these.

SHAREit At A Glance

If you are asking the question which one is the best then it might be a little difficult to answer. All the three apps offer almost the same functionalities and same speed. So it usually boils down to the personal choices. But if you want to look at it objectively, you will find that SHAREit is the app which has been downloaded more number of times in comparison to the other two. So, some may want to assume that it is the best. There is barely any doubt that SHAREit app is a great app with a simple interface and easy connectivity option is. It is also advisable to have this app on your phone as most of the other people also have it.

Xender At A Glance

Xender may not be as popular but it is definitely a wonderful file sharing app. There are some people who are even ready to swear by it. It does have a nice looking app and many people find it better than the others. It also has a buzz feature that allows you to buzz another user of this app.

Zapya At A Glance

Zapya is also a great file sharing app. It has almost all the functionalities as the above two along with some of its unique features. It also has an integrated chat application that allows you to ping other Zapya users.

Facetime is an app developed by Apple and hence made available easily for use on ios devices. It’s a net based video calling service, that this app provides its users. It’s easy to use and download and makes for a great experience when used.

With hd quality video and extremely clear, noise or distortion free audio, it’s easily the best app for video calls that’s available to the users. It’s been gaining popularity at a momentous speed for precisely these reasons. It’s available for free and works like a charm with wifi connection or even a cellular 3g data connection. It’s so popular in fact, that windows, android and blackberry users are tweaking their phones just so as to use this app.

It has call block features so you can block either a certain person or all calls for a time. It’s a highly encrypted service so that any calls made remain perfectly private. It brings to you a mute feature as well, so if you need to have a conversation with someone you bumped into or a nosy mom, you can make sure that remains private from your facetime pall. The app boasts a user friendly and easily customized interface to boot. However, this wonderful video and voice calling app is not available for Android or Windows computer, in recent times the demand for Facetime for PC version has increased tremendously, but Apple has clearly mentioned that they are in no modd to launch Facetime’s Windows PC version or launch Facetime for Android in the near future. Moving ahead lets talk about how to get Facetime for iOS devices.

To download and install the app on any ios device all that needs be done is as follows-

Visit the apple store and search for facetime app.

Click on install and allow the app to make any changes in the phone.

Wait as it installs in the background.

Run the app and follow any instructions that it prompts you to follow.

When the app gets installed all that remains is activating it. Which is easily done with your Apple id and password. Sometimes on activating FaceTime, you might see one of these messages:

Could not sign in, please check your network connection

Activation unsuccessful

Waiting for activation

An error occurred during activation

Likely there’s just something to do with the device settings

Make sure that you’re connected to an Internet cellular network or wifi. In case of an iPhone, SMS messaging to activate your phone number with FaceTime might be what’s needed. Depending on your carrier, you might be charged for this SMS.

If that doesn’t work go to Settings > General > Date & Time and make sure that your phone time is correct

If the restart has been tried and yet there’s trouble visit Settings >Facetime and turn off facetime from there. After a while, go to Settings >FaceTime again and turn on FaceTime. This reboots the app entirely.

If even then it’s now activated, in the 24 hour time check to see that your ios is the latest version, if not update it. If that doesn’t work either, contact apple support.

I hope that after reading this article you can use facetime easily and efficiently. Apple is always releasing updates for its apps, and Facetime isn’t any different. Keep your App updated to stay out of obsolescence with your friends.

iMoive is an iOS Application suitable for editing videos casually. It supports trimming, Adding Titles, Background Music and many other features.

There are other Applications on iOS as well which offer like functions.

Some of the similar Applications are listed below:

Snapseed is one of the best photo apps for iPhone, iPad and Android devices. An iOS update binds to the free application on Instagram and improves existing features.

We accept the update to version 2.3 for iOS like an opportunity to once again draw attention to the free image editing app Snapseed. After all, is a very good tool with good algorithms that we are among the must-have apps for iPhone. Moreover Snapseed is free.

Besides Instagram connection (however Instagram must be installed on the iPhone) automatically detects the focus effect in the new version of the app faces and suggests a setting for the blur. Nothing big, but a little relief. In addition, with the automatic alignment wrong captured images aligned with the horizon line, and the metadata display is improved.

Since late last year supported Snapseed 3D touch of iPhone 6s (Plus) and is adapted to the display of the iPad Pro .

Small history for version 2: Originally Snapseed was an application of Nik Software, a developer of high-quality (and expensive) plugins designed for Photoshop and other programs. In autumn 2012, Google bought the software company and presented Snapseed for Mac soon. Technologies found in the Android operating system collection, the apps for iOS and Android have been and are still evolving – and distributed for free. Before Google times Snapseed cost usually around 4 Euros.

Snapseed 2: image editing on iPhone, iPad & Android devices

A basic update for Snapseed was from long – eventually the design was not very timely. Google has – due to its operating system – made flat. In addition, the user interface has been reorganized and integrated new features.

The app now distinguishes between tools and filters. For the former include, for example tweaking which contains among others the tools known brightness, ambiance, contrast, etc. Moreover drawing, transforming and area correction can be found under Tools. Using a brush can be brightness, correct temperature and saturation selectively in the photo.

In the filters, we find the famous drama, the context, but also new as Noir and Glamour Glow.

One of the great peculiarities was and is the selective correction with the exclusive “U-Point technology,” known from the Nik Software plug-ins. It can be found under the name selective in the app. The user can thus change intelligently selected image areas in color or brightness, without having to create complicated selections. In a tutorial I have shown a few years ago, as you hereby corrected image areas.

The operation of Snapseed has always been a bit strange, but useful for small screens. With practice, the photo settings by horizontal and vertical can perform well, and there are automatics. However, the new version also requires existing users some trial period – which does not want to accept any reviewer in the App Store.
